When I use “bottom” in our example context reserves space for the figure at the bottom but the figure itself doesn’t appear.

All together I came then to the conclusion that one should place the float at the bottom with 'bots' and add an offset. But maybe I miss something...

Why don’t you stretch the figure the whole width of the two columns and the distance between them. I saw in the manual a example where Hans defined a command \Two which does this.
